Hey, guys. New here. Just got back from Europe and I wanted to see how Casino AZ was. The place is pure ****, but they've got blackjack! I was just curious... I was only there for a little bit, blew $100 just so I can pay attention to the dealer, players and get a hang of their rules.
I paid attention to the auto shufflers, it seems like it'd be easy to track the cards. I'm not sure what kind of machine it is, but they're definitely not CSMs. If you take the 6 decks, assign letters/numbers, they usually have the players cut. If the player cuts about a deck from their shuffle card, they usually just leave it be.. Not sure how I feel on that, probably not any big deal. But, mainly.. they take the unplayed cards, make it into 3 partial decks, insert them at middle, just below top, and just below bottom, pretty close to even away from each other. They then take the decks, cut in half, then take the last half (c2, d and e) and cut in half, then stack on top. They put 3 decks stacked on one side of the machine, 3 decks stacked on the other, then the machine riffs them together to form the next shoe.
Is there something I'm not aware of? This seems SUPER beatable.. I've never shuffletracked, but it seems like getting the hang of how the machines do their work here wouldn't be any hard feat.
Before anyone asks, I know how to count, been doing it for a few months. I know BS as well.
And, before I search I'll just ask since I'm posting anyways.. anyone else know any other casinos in AZ or between AZ/CA that can be shuffletracked?
